New study links insulin resistance to higher risk of heart valve disease in men over 45.

A new study in the Annals of Medicine links insulin resistance to a higher risk of aortic stenosis, a heart valve disease, in men over 45. Researchers from Finland found that biomarkers of insulin resistance were significant predictors of the disease, even after adjusting for other risk factors. This suggests that managing metabolic health could help reduce the risk of aortic stenosis, though further studies are needed to confirm the impact of lifestyle changes.
